<p>An opportunity to shoot a Marine wedding does not come along that often and especially if it happens to be your nephew.</p><div></div>

<p>Went to a friend's wedding this past weekend and played photographer for him.<br>

Here's a shot of the first dance:</p>

<p>Bride getting ready = Sony A900 24-70mm lens - unsure of apeture but probably f/2.8 but I know I should have had more depth of field! Bride was in her own world just having whilst getting her make up done. Has some lightroom tweaks on and I think she looks like snow white.</p><div></div>

<p>Actually sorry it was 135mm lens! Sorry</p>

<p>I shoot mostly photojournalist style images, usually done in B&W with a handful of the typical formals. </p>

<p>Last week's client wanted more of her and her husband in some "directed candids" (whatever that means : -) ... and I decided it would be fun to do something different ... not to mention I wanted to try out a new camera and some recently acquired portable lighting. This and 5 other shots were printed 17" X 22".</p>

<p>Hasselblad H4D/40, manual exposure mode @ 1/180th shutter, ISO 200; HC 100/2.2 @ f/6.3 ... Elinchrom Quadra on a light stick with a 33" translucent umbrella @ 300 w/s held camera right ... Metz on-camera TTL flash used for fill. (there was all kinds of activity in the background behind the couch, so I exposed to make the background go black). </p><div></div>

<p>Shot with a Nikon D90, using 35mm prime at f/1.8, ISO 200 and 1/320. I pulled the veil over all 3 of us and snapped a few. I took several and I think this might be one of my faves! : )</p><div></div>

<p>No wedding last weekend, but did an engagement shoot. This one's a little unconventional but I like it. D300 17-55 2.8 1/250 @ 2.8</p>

<p>This was taken in someone's garden (planted in tubs). I used a 50mm lens. ISO 200 and I think f/1.7...</p><div></div>
